I was like a satellite, my world revolved around a sun. It felt good to face the light. But, gravity swerved and soon there was none. An eclipse and the star died. It was breeding a blackhole. Angry it sucked in all the light. I was pushed in and swallowed whole…. Whole…
So dark, so empty, felt so alone but, I breathed in and pushed forward towards a new home.
The blackhole spun, lost all light, I couldn't see.
Was warped away, a new light, towards a new galaxy
Is it true? A new sun? Is it true? A real one?
--- the light is brighter now---
Now I can control my orbit, this sun doesn't lock my path. Now I have the freedom to choose it and I hope this light will last. It's funny that it's brighter here and I spin the same as before. Limiting controls constrains my fear, now I can just start over….. Over…
The blackhole spun, lost all light, I couldn't see.
Was warped away, a new light, towards another galaxy
